HABCO Industries Enters into a License Agreement to Supply Pratt & Whitney Tooling for Engine Alliance

HABCO Industries, a supplier of test and support equipment and tooling products to the aerospace industry, enters into a license agreement with Engine Alliance to become an authorized tooling supplier for Pratt & Whitney engine tooling on the GP7200 engine. This license agreement builds on the position that HABCO has established as an engine tooling supplier. Over the past year, HABCO has functioned as the exclusive designated service supplier of tooling for Pratt & Whitney engines JT3D, JT8D, JT9D, PW2000, PW4000 and PW6000. In 2016, HABCO signed a license agreement to provide engine tooling for all Pratt & Whitney Canada engines: JT15D, PT6, PT6A, PT6B, PT6C, PW100, PW100B, PW150, PW200, PW210, PW300, PW500, PW600 and PW800.

“Throughout our existence, countless airline operators have relied upon HABCO for quality support and test equipment used throughout their operations. The tooling license agreement with Engine Alliance is a further demonstration of our InnoGration™ business offering. We’ve totally aligned the company from both an internal and external position to ensure that all Engine Alliance customers receive the Pratt & Whitney tooling support that they’ve come to expect. Our support will be unwavering,” says Jeff Kretzmer, vice president, Sales and Marketing for HABCO.

“The license agreement with Engine Alliance is another validation of the tooling business that we’re building at HABCO. We’re working to build a business that end users can continually count on to get their engine tooling whenever and wherever they need it. We’re working hard to pay off the trust that major aerospace OEMs are placing in us with these license agreements,” adds Kretzmer.

Located in Glastonbury, CT, HABCO has supplied extensive product solutions to the aerospace industry for well over 40 years. The company has a deep product offering that includes a comprehensive portfolio of support and test equipment, as well as extending into a deeper tooling offering. Over the past two years, the company has expanded its unique InnoGration™ value stream to include significant license agreements with several aerospace OEMs. The agreement with Engine Alliance is another example of how companies are continuing to look to HABCO for their tooling requirements.
